...continued to eat bad, processed food all the time (which is full of sodium), despite having high blood pressure?

I'm concerned because heart problems and hypertension run in my family and this family member, my MOM, has high blood pressure. I'm not sure if she doesn't understand or just doesn't care that this stuff is majority of the reason she has high blood pressure...

My parents would never listen to me. I stopped and let them enjoy the rest of their lives.

@Mondayschild what did you tell them? What were their health issues?

Mondayschild · F

@iamnikki they both had high blood pressure. I tried to get them to stop frying stuff,eating salt and cut out the restaurant biscuits filled with meat. Southern food is tasty but dangerous on the heart. If they want to get recipes for a good heart healthy diet you might find one on the internet

@Mondayschild thank you. My problem is that my mom doesn't like to cook real food. Everything she buys is out of a box. Same as it was when i was growing up. There were times when , as a younger adult, I'd go to the grocery to buy items for a recipe. I'd have to stop to google some foods or how to pick and prepare them because mom never used them😕
